A small-time crook is doing life in California's notoriously
brutal Corcoran State Prison for the murder of his mother.
He admitted to the crime, but now he claims his confession
was coerced by the cops. A beautiful Internal Affairs
detective, Secada "Scout" Llevar, asks Shane to help
investigate, and he agrees after learning the original
homicide detective was Brian Devine, a ruthless cop with
whom Scully has a bad history.
What begins as a routine review quickly turns into something
much more deadly. The case is abruptly shut down by an LAPD
deputy chief, and Shane begins to suspect that for unknown
reasons the prisoner really may have been framed by the
police. But some things, once started, cannot be stopped,
and the investigation spirals dangerously out of control,
implicating a violent Hispanic gang, a millionaire power
broker, and the front-runner in the Los Angeles mayoral
race.
Meanwhile, Shane and Alexa struggle to save their marriage,
which has come perilously close to disintegration since
Alexa's near-fatal shooting in White Sister-just as Shane
finds himself attracted to his new partner. Could the answer
to their marital troubles be tied to the case he's
investigating? In Cannell's latest heart-pounding thriller,
Shane is tried in ways he has never been, risking his
family, his job, and his life.
